Men's Down Parka

Clearance

Russet Red

A parka built for the duluth deep freeze

beat winter in our warmest jacket

The stalwart residents of Duluth have seen bitter -30°F lows, month-long sprees of snow that blasts sideways, and windchills that could freeze your eyeballs. Winters like that, you learn the hard way what you really need out of a parka. Like 650 fill power down that stays downright warm in frigid temps, and a snorkel hood to defend your face from biting wind. Built-in snow skirt to shut out the cold when you're waist deep in snowdrifts. And Freedom of Movement bi-swing back and Armpit Gussets, plus plenty of useful pockets (3 inside and one on the sleeve), because the job isn't done even though the mercury can't drop lower.

I am a rubenesque curvy girl who likes to get out and do everything in all kinds of cold . This coat has been great from carpool duty at my school to walking home in a winter storm. I love the fact it is sturdy as I am hard on my outside gear. I don't like to be cold and this jacket has kept me toasty on any adventure I throw it! Not being tall the bottom pockets are a little low but They are big and roomy and can be packed with all sorts of outside life savers. I love the hood as it snugs the face nicely no wind gaps and It is long enough for me to not get cold legs. It has a nice look and I have gone from house to dinner or trail to cabin just fine. I love the roomy spaces and the good quality of the coat. Taking it to Denali next season!

First off, I'm 6'0" and 175 lbs and the medium fits me well. The large was slightly bigger than I like, but I prefer to wear less baggy clothing. I got the russet colored parka, and I think the color is quite sharp. It stands out quite well against the snow without being obnoxious.

I wore this parka outside in -15 to 5 degree F weather with a windchill of -35 to -10. Even though it's rated to -10 to -30, I was cold wearing this jacket with a flannel shirt + wool sweater underneath while both walking and standing still. Unfortunately, it's not as warm as my '80s-era N-3B Air Force parka. It does cut the wind better than my N-3B parka though.

I do like idea of the fleece lined slash breast pockets, but they are really too small for my hands and they are also awkwardly placed too high.

The Velcro closures on the zipper don't stay closed when I bend or sit down. I also think the jacket would look better if it had buttons or snaps instead of the Velcro.

This parka has been standing up to a pretty nasty winter. If you're between sizes then size up as it's just a bit snug. The hood is nice and warm. Over 10 degrees and you can just use the hood and not worry about a hat.

I have been wearing the authentic U.S. Air Force Parka for many yaers. It was getting to bulky to wear and could not be seen when I was blowing snow. I almost got hit by a car twice. Last week the temperature was (-30) with a wind chill of (-60). I had to go to work so I wore The Duluth Parka. The cold never affected me. When your not in the cold it does get to warm to wear. The outer shell does get to stiff with exreme cold. This is the parka to get if want to be protected from the harshest of winters. Duluth Trading is a great company and they are the experts for work clothing and gear.

Recieverd wrong coat and wrong size so I had to pay for return which wasn't my fault but was cheep I won,t be spending any more money there not sure what happened but it sounded like there return section was busy thats why it took so long to get my refund
